कर्णश्न सुमहावीर्यस्त्वया वध्यो धनंजय । “अनघ! वसुओंके अंशसे उत्पन्न महापराक्रमी और परम धर्मात्मा पितामह भीष्मको तुम संग्राममें जीत लोगे। भरद्वाजपुत्र द्रोणाचार्यके द्वारा सुरक्षित क्षत्रिय-समुदाय भी, जिसका स्पर्श अग्निके समान भयंकर है, तुम्हारे द्वारा पराजित होगा। कुरुनन्दन! मानव- शरीरमें उत्पन्न हुए महाबली दानव तथा निवातकवच नामक दैत्य भी तुम्हारे हाथसे मारे जायँगे। धनंजय! सम्पूर्ण जगत्को उष्णता प्रदान करनेवाले मेरे पिता भगवान् सूर्यदेवके अंशसे उत्पन्न महापराक्रमी कर्ण भी तुम्हारा वध्य होगा

Vaiśampāyana said: “O Dhanaṃjaya, even Karṇa of immense valor will be slain by you. O sinless one, you will conquer in battle the grandsire Bhīṣma—supremely righteous and of great prowess—who was born from a portion of the Vasus. The host of kṣatriyas protected by Droṇācārya, son of Bharadvāja—terrible to touch like fire—will also be defeated by you. O delight of the Kurus, mighty Dānavas born in human bodies, and the Daityas called Nivātakavacas, will be killed by your hand. And Karṇa too—born from a portion of Sūrya, my father, the blessed Sun-god who gives heat to the whole world—will be destined to fall to you.”
